Sega Cancels Aliens RPG? :_(
Sad news for Aliens fans, Sega has canceled an Aliens RPG that was in the works by California-based developer Obsidian. This is super sad news because about twenty people were laid off at Obsidian. Plus, an Aliens based RPG would be awesome, especially coming from a developer that had experience making a solid RPG. In case you can’t remember, Obsidian made Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II. The title was due out on the PC, Playstation 3, and Xbox 360.
More frightening is that it’s rumored that the Gearbox developed Aliens first person shooter could be in trouble as well.
Don’t lose all hope Aliens fans! Sega has also announced a new Aliens vs. Predator game that’s due out in 2010. When they announced the new game they are quoted as saying, “…strategically updated the release of the other upcoming Aliens titles currently in development within its portfolio” whatever the hell that means.
Now this is all rumor still because neither company has confirmed it, but when has this stopped any kind of gaming blog from reporting it? If this is all true it’s a terrible shame for Sega. They have made crap for so long that when they have a chance to produce games based on some awesome intellectual properties, the economy collapses and they are stuck with no money and no consumer confidence.
